Podcast #31: Nihilism, Dinosaurs, and Church Dress Codes Feb 23, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason renounces Christianity and decides to try nihilism on for size (God, he has learned, is only worth worshiping if he makes our lives easy and comfortable and gives us everything we want). But don't worry, we're sure he'll return to the fold. Christian then recounts a harrowing tale from Vegas involving a Scandinavian snowman on the attack, and the DXPs delve into the thorny issue of whether believers should be "against" dinosaurs, or just ignore them altogether. The discussion turns to gambling and whether it's really as sinful as religion has portrayed it over the years. Speaking of religion, we learn in this episode what's really behind Christian's utter disdain for Jesus (hint: it involves wearing hats in church), which segues into a discussion of just [...]

Podcast #30: Virtual Immorality, Religious Atrocity, and Fairy-Tale Christianity Feb 16, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason, in various forms and sundry ways, suffers abuse and scorn from Christian, his irritable co-host (causing Jason to wonder, for perhaps the first time in his life, whether he is this much of a dick when he's in a bad mood, which is quite often). Useless self-reflection aside, the discussion begins with the moral ramifications, if any, of actions committed in a virtual-reality world, and then turns to the abject hatred that President Obama displayed toward Christianity during his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast for the 1% of the time he wasn't praising Christianity. The DXPs then tackle a couple listeners' questions about whether true love necessitates free will, causing Christian to moan and complain, not about [...]

Podcast #29: Jason's Termination, the Problem of Evil, GMOs, and Demonic Possession Feb 09, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason faces the difficult challenge of choosing between a sport he doesn't care about and a job he hates. After answering a question about online dating, Jason and Christian discuss the recent statements of atheist Stephen Fry, pronouncing god, if he exists, as stupid thanks to bone cancer in children. After a quick discussion about GMOs, they begin working through listener voicemails. A question that has nothing to do with the new Microsoft HoloLens leads to a discussion about the new Microsoft HoloLens. They discuss whether or not Christians would give up being "right" in order for more people to get into heaven. They then get asked about demonic possession which leads Jason to talk in a way that Christian can't help slow-blinking at, and after solving the topic of free will, Jason is biebered by [...]

Podcast #28: Yoga Pants, Gay Husbands, and Incest Feb 02, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason and Christian talk about yoga pants. Naturally, this brings up many more topics such as when candy had its zenith, exactly what it means to covet your neighbor's ass, and what it would be like if women catcalled men. They then talk about gay men marrying women and whether or not that will make god happy finally. A caller asks why a father shouldn't marry his daughter, which leads to Jason being confused about how reproduction works. Jason is biebered by overly conservative people, and Christian is biebered by having to keep quiet until he has everything figured out.

Also, Jason advocates for straight men getting gay-married…again. Hmmm.

Podcast #27: The Cruise, Crumpling Kids for Christ, and Sacred Ground Jan 26, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason and Christian jump on the Seahawks bandwagon. They lament their failed childhood radio careers. They tell stories of gluttony, obstructive sleep apnea, and mushrooms from the cruise. They talk about how car salesman get revenge for bad reviews. They mock (and refuse) the apology of the punching pastor. They come up with more stereotypes for white people. They discuss whether or not places can be holy or sacred and what that means for Catholics who want to get married on the beach. Jason is biebered by people who are biebered by Michael Moore being biebered by snipers. Christian is biebered by people who don't recognize that movies are the highest form of art.

Also, is love in the air for Jason and Christian on the high seas? Their cabin boy thinks so.

Podcast #26: Mythical Christianity, Racial Stereotypes, and Handling Change Jan 19, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Christian and Jason start off with a voicemail from a listener who describes an unsuccessful attempt at introducing a friend to the podcast which ends with that friend thinking they're racist. A question about Christian's agnosticism leads to a discussion about whether or not the Bible is reliable and if Jesus could be who the Bible claims he is. Another caller, not realizing that Jason and Christian have been labeled as racist, brings up the issue of racial stereotypes. Alcohol encourages them to go ahead and take on the topic. A couple of other callers ask questions about how Christian's and Jason's personal lives were affected by their change in beliefs, which Christian is happy to answer. Jason remains dodgy. Finally, Jason is biebered by the fact that money makes it so that he can't be more lazy.

Also, Jason admits to feeling emotions once after some champagne.

Podcast #25: Our "Polemical" Podcast, Dying Like a Boss, and Rapid-fire Feedback Jan 12, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, after some childhood memories of thrown Brussels sprouts and spilled honey, a shot in honor of their fine listeners, one of Jason's stories from the car dealership, and Christian trying to talk himself out of buying a new car, Jason and Christian analyze some of the criticism of the podcast, delving into the nature of the podcast itself. After a third attempt at explaining that they don't hate Capitalism, they examine the death of Christians compared to the death of non-Christians and whether or not dying well proves anything, and eventually whether or not anything proves anything. After a break to refill drinks and order pizza, Christian and Jason discuss why God keeps playing tricks on humans, such as creating the earth to look so old. They then enjoy some spontaneous feedback from listeners via Facebook and are interrupted by the pizza arriving early. Jason is biebered by having to travel more than five miles ever [...]

Podcast #24: A Year without God, Clarifications, and Transgenderism Jan 05, 2015

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, after a quick discussion about the ways they would abuse lucid dreaming and why living like Jesus would completely screw up one's life, Christian and Jason analyze the recently finished yearlong experiment of Ryan Bell, a former pastor who decided last January to live like an atheist and report his findings. They then address feedback from listeners on the topics of scientific theory (it's just theory!), torture (it's totally OK!), and Capitalism (they hate it, obviously). They then address the recent suicide of Leelah (Joshua) Alcorn, a transgender teen who was told by their parents that "God doesn't make mistakes." Jason is biebered by rhyming with poor timing, and Christian is biebered by people who are biebered by New Year's resolutions.

Also, Christian explains why you should be happy that your partner would like to have sex with other people.

Podcast #23: Test Drive Hit and Run, Tough Love, and Capitalism vs Christianity Dec 29, 2014

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason wants to know if they're recording, but he finally has a reason to worry. Jason then regales us with stories from the car dealership, including a recent test drive that went bad, especially for a pedestrian who may or may not be completely fine. Let's pretend he is. Christian and Jason then talk about "tough love" and whether or not Christians should shun people who don't live according to their morals. They then discuss the "Christian Right," how it came to be, and more importantly, whether it should be. A caller claims to have more joy and freedom as a former Christian than she did as a Christian, which we all know is completely impossible. Finally, Jason is biebered by how much more difficult it is to have a conference call today than it was twenty years ago.

Podcast #22: Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, Legalizing Everything, and Puppy-Kicking Atheists Dec 22, 2014

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Christian and Jason go over some new iTunes reviews of the podcast, one of which is two stars and actually ends up being somewhat accurate. They then discuss the new CEO of Sony, Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. After a discussion about raising money as missionaries, they take on the concept of over-criminalization and whether or not less laws would cause everyone to start shooting heroine into their eyeballs. They then take a question about how censored their childhoods were and then another question about whether or not atheists are just as bad as fundamentalist Christians. They then reminisce about a fight they had over a lighter and Christian is biebered by joint Facebook accounts.

Also, they get a voice mail from Satan.
